Before you begin

This document describes the general steps required to move your NiFi dataflow and NiFi Registry versioned flows from an HDF 3.5.x or CFM 1.1.0 Standalone cluster to a CFM 2.1.1 cluster in CDP Private Cloud Base.

Migration and upgrade scenarios

You have two options for moving to CFM 2.1.1.

  • Upgrade refers to a full in-place upgrade of CFM to CDP Private Cloud Base. For upgrade information see the Upgrade Guide.
  • Data migration refers to moving existing HDF cluster workloads to a new installation of CDP Private Cloud Base.

Migration paths

You must migrate from one of the following environments:

  • HDF 3.5.x

    • Standalone (Not managed by Ambari)

    • Ambari (with or without Ranger)

    • +HDP 3.1.5 and Ambari (with or without Ranger)

  • CFM 1.1.0

    • Standalone (Not managed by Cloudera Manager)

Additional requirements

  • You must migrate HDF 3.5.x or CFM 1.1.0 Standalone to an equivalent target environment. For example:

    • From HDF 3.5.x without Ranger to CFM 2.1.1 without Ranger

    • From HDF 3.5.x with Ranger to CFM 2.1.1 with Ranger

    • From CFM 1.1.x without Ranger to CFM 2.1.1 without Ranger

  • You have deployed a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster with the necessary services running (ZooKeeper, Ranger, and similar) and out-of-the-box configurations.

  • You have sufficient networking connectivity and capacity between the source cluster and destination cluster.

  • You have the permissions required to access and modify files on cluster nodes.

  • You have consulted the Cloudera Flow Management Release Notes and are aware of known issues.

  • You have reviewed Apache NiFi Migration Guidance and Apache NiFi Registry Migration Guidance and are aware of any differences between source and destination components.
